Arch-vis is an abreviation of :Architectural visualisation.
there is a diffrence between architecture and landscaping.
no more ideas to propose? or is it just a censure for some arch-vis artists?
frankly and with my respects to all, i think that it's not a worthy subject of such a contest.
create a secret garden for the annual arch-vis contest! serious? !!
good luck for all
